This service is galvanized coming from the curb box located on 9 ½ Street and 19th Avenue in the right-of- way to the Southeast corner of the house. The main is in 9 ½ Street which is an attached PFD of the City water and sewer. There is two curb box side by side in the right-of-away so its important to locate the service that connects to the address at the main before excavating in the street. Due to the length of this service, an alternate material shall be used. This must be an approved HDPE piping with NSF/ANSI/CAD 61 rating that shall be used for the new service line and fittings. The line will be bored from the main in the street to a new shut off/ curb box to the Southwest side of the house missing the front porch. There will be a section of concrete side walk removed to excavate and install the new shut off. That will be leaving a short run into the house. Once inside the house there will need some plumbing modifications at the existing meter location to accommodate hooking up to the service. A shut shall be installed before the meter location. There shall be a locating wire (IPC 306.2.4) ran from the main to the house on this new service. At the main the old service line shall be disconnected and terminated within a few inches of the main. This shall be inspected and the new connect before backfilling begins. The soils from the street excavation shall be hauled away and clean rock brought in which will be compacted in lifts. A side walk patch will be done along with the road patch per Rock Island Public Work department speciation’s. This project will require a licensed electrician to run ground rods and connect a new wire to ground the houses electrical service. Electrical, Plumbing, and Excavation permit will be required before work begins.
